New Releases, Upcoming Projects & Events

OK, so what can I say? Running your own label & publishing company + being part of several projects and having a day job half of the time – it all gets hectic. Sometimes you take a step back and realize oops, I haven’t updated my blog in months. But now, we’re back (again)! Here’s what’s what:

Our most recent release is the newest in the Mood series. Sort of the opposite of Dark Moods, which we released in 2012. This one is Emotional Moods. Fifteen mellow and mood-altering pieces of music flow through time and float through space, pulling the strings of the heart and pushing the limits of the soul. Through a unique mix of organic and electronic elements, VanBuren takes the listener through a variety of emotions and moods. At once thought-provoking, mystical and sensual, this collection of music stimulates the senses through repeat listens that weave in and out of new age, ambient and chillout soundscapes. Check out the News page on sykophunk.com for the growing list of places online that you can listen to and/or download this album.

Our other recent releases from Dostah Shilailee & BL8 are available on our Bandcamp page. Plus all our older stuff as well. Dive in and enjoy…

So what are we working on next? A joe DOE video mixtape, a solo release from Misfit of Triple Vision, and the Democalypse prequel Happocrisy, for starters. Also, we’re going to let Dostah Shilailee take over the artist2artist interview series and unleash him upon our friends and foes alike. Oh yeah, and Triple Vision will be opening up for some established underground acts and performing live on Outlandish Reality for their first television appearance ever! Keep your third eye open & stay tuned to the rEvolution Underground.

Projects and Releases on the Horizon

Wow, 2013 has been very good to Sykophunk Productions so far! Triple Vision is doing 4 to 5 shows a month. We’re getting a lot of local Fort Wayne love, and I can’t begin to express how much it is appreciated. We’re doing something special soon as a thank you to our fans. There is so much talent in this city, and we’ve had the privilege lately of jamming and networking with some amazing people. It’s a great scene to be a part of.

The Sykophunk studio is also back in action, as we lay down demo tracks for a few summer releases. Keep your third eye open for some upcoming collabs and new material from Triple Vision, joe DOE, the elusive Dostah Shilailee, and of course the Democalypse prequel Happocrisy. Plus more live shows – hopefully spreading out regionally towards the end of the summer. I am also continuing composing/sound design work on two huge projects: an animated horror film and a dark post-apocalyptic video game.

Thanks again to everyone involved in this movement and supporting real underground, truly independent music. The team, the fans, the artists – we love you all. Your energy keeps our momentum going forward. Blessed be.

Triple Vision & Sykophunk – the future is now

Last time I posted on this blog, I announced the return of Triple Vision. This is what we’ve been doing in that 3 months or so. And we already have more shows booked. On top of new material from all of our artists and some affiliates, plus doing production work on a few projects, including video games and an upcoming animated film. 2013 is already looking like a busy year for Sykophunk Productions!

Upcoming releases include joe DOE’s EP 1 + 1 = Never (“love” songs for Valentine’s Day) and the Democalypse trilogy part one: Happocrisy, as well as Dostah Shilailee’s new album Masterpiece of Shit. Next for Triple Vision: other than more live shows, we’re working on new tracks for both a new album called Third Nature and a mixtape called Faceless Emoticon.

Triple Vision: please do call it a comeback!

We were voted in the top 10 Fort Wayne hip hop acts in Whatzup magazine in 2011, after not even being on the scene for almost 3 years! The people have spoken. So now we’re working on a new mixtape/album to bring more entertainment and enlightenment, rEvolutionary rap with that hardcore swag, putting the midwest in Mic Checkmate…

Sykophunk Artists Debut New Songs With Live Performances

With recent talks of a full-length release from both Triple Vision and joe DOE scheduled to drop in early 2011, plus a Triple Vision mixtape going online November 26, 2010, the artists have been giving audiences a sneak peak of some new tracks through live performances. This past Tuesday, joe DOE performed a new song for the first time, “Bleed for the Night,” as well as an alternate version of “Epic Awesomeness,” at the Cubbyhole Coffee House in Poughkeespies, NY.

Last month, Triple Vision performed working versions of three new tracks at the same venue.

The performances and videos are a means to test out new material, as well as to generate awareness of their upcoming releases. Both artists plan on booking more gigs throughout the winter. Info on upcoming show dates and appearances can be found on the Sykophunk Productions Gigs & Events page.
